Christian views on the roles of men and women
Christians have different views on the roles of men and women. Many Christians believe that men and women should have very similar roles within the family whereas others believe that the roles of men and women have very different roles. Christians get these views from two different versus.
For The traditional views of men and women’s roles the bible, 1 Peter 3:1,7 – Wives in the same way to be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behaviour of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing gold jewellery and fine clothes. Instead it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is holy women of the past who put their hope in god used to make themselves beautiful. They are submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. I think that this means to Christians that women should not be recognised as sex symbols but as whom they are inside as in their personality and that they should not dress up and have beauty therapy to make them attracted to men. I also think that it means that if the male cannot believe words then they may be won over by the female without words.
